Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the 350th Shahidi Purab of Guru Teg Bahadur Ji in Kurukshetra. He appealed to the people to adopt the life ideals of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji and mentioned his bravery. In his address, he said that India neither fears nor stops. Prime Minister Modi released a special coin and commemorative postage stamp on the 350th Shahidi Purab of Sri Guru Teg Bahadur Ji.
In his address, Prime Minister Modi said that “Guru ji set an ideal of bravery during the period of Mughal invaders. Kashmiri Hindus were being forcibly converted. In the midst of this crisis, a group of victims sought the help of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji. Guru Maharaj then asked all those victims to tell Aurangzeb clearly that if Guru Tegh Bahadur converted to Islam, they too would convert to Islam.” These words show their fearlessness and supreme courage. He never compromised with religion and principles.
The Prime Minister said that standing on this land of Kurukshetra, Lord Sri Krishna declared the protection of truth and justice as the greatest religion. This holy land of Kurukshetra is an important center of Sikh tradition. Almost all the Gurus of the Sikh tradition visited here during their holy pilgrimage.
Prime Minister Modi said that personalities like Guru Teg Bahadur ji are very rare in history. His life, his sacrifice, his character is a great inspiration. The brave Sahibzades accepted the marking in bricks in the wall but did not leave the path of their duty and religion.

Prime Minister Modi said that our government has made efforts to connect every shrine of the Gurus with the image of modern India. Be it the completion of the Kartarpur Corridor, the construction of the ropeway project at Hemkund Sahib, the expansion of the Heritage-e-Khalsa Museum at Anandpur Sahib, we have tried to complete all these works with full devotion, taking the glorious tradition of Gurujans as our ideal.
